Know before you go

  • Best Time to Visit: The dry season (June to October) is ideal for wildlife viewing, especially the Great Migration in the Serengeti. However, the green season (November to May) offers fewer crowds, lush scenery, and lower prices.
  • Health Precautions: Vaccinations for yellow fever, hepatitis, and typhoid are often recommended. Malaria is also present in Tanzania, so consider anti-malaria medication and bring insect repellent.
  • Visa Requirements: Most travelers need a visa to enter Tanzania, which can be obtained online (e-visa) or upon arrival at the airport.
  • Packing Essentials: Pack neutral-colored clothing (such as khaki and green), comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, binoculars, a camera with a zoom lens, and a reusable water bottle.
  • Respect for Wildlife: Always stay inside your vehicle unless instructed otherwise, and follow your guide's directions to maintain a safe distance from animals.
  • Travel Insurance: Comprehensive travel insurance is highly recommended to cover medical emergencies, evacuations, and trip cancellations.
  • Tipping Practices: Tipping is customary in Tanzania. Typical tips include around $10-$20 per day for safari guides and $5-$10 for hotel staff and drivers.
  • Currency: The local currency is the Tanzanian Shilling, but U.S. dollars are widely accepted. Bring small bills, as large denominations may not be accepted in rural areas.
  • Language and Culture: Swahili and English are widely spoken. Learning a few basic Swahili words can be helpful and appreciated by locals.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Many safari areas are ecologically sensitive. Dispose of waste properly, avoid single-use plastics, and respect conservation rules to protect Tanzania's natural beauty.
